Spring Break on Dog Island

“ Excellent ”

March 28, 2015

The house was very comfortable with a large, well stocked kitchen in which we made several delicious dinners (also with the help of the Green Egg grill). The ocean side porch, lined with Adirondack chairs made for a relaxing location for breakfast. We enjoyed arm chair birding (osprey fishing, bald eagle fly by, pelicans, brown boobies and more), walks on the beach, and hikes on the forest trail just west of the house. Relaxing and refreshing vacation for us and our 2 teenage children. We will be back!

Super cozy beach front home for families or couples looking for a vacation of a lifetime on the most beautiful beach in the world! We have spectacular ocean views as well as views of the bay from the kitchen and decks. The screened porch with three hammocks and adirondack chairs ...

We have brand new kitchen appliances, a new large flat panel TV and a brand new metal roof. Come and enjoy our lovely gulf front home on the tranquil white sand beaches of Dog Island. This home was custom built and is often used as a showcase home for the island. It is positioned...

My wife and son share my view of this most enjoyable and restful vacation we have ever had. The house was very well equipped and the views were outstanding. We were worried prior to our arrival about the lack of a satellite for television and the possibility of no cell service. There was an extinsive selection of movies there to watch and our verizon cell service worked great. The filtered water was also an added plus!!! We have visited many beaches but the shells we found here were among the biggest we have ever seen. Beautiful! We snorkeled and we're able see an abundance of starfish, electric sting rays, sand sharks, dolphins , and numerous species of fish. The surf fishing was great and the shark fishing at night was very exciting. Even though we visited on a holiday week, there were many times where we were the only people on the beach. We appreciate the opportunity to rent the Dream Weaver and hope to visit again soon.

Recently renovated 2 bedrooms, 2 bath beach front home, with water views from every room. Located on 5 private acres with its own deep water dock. It is known for spectacular sunsets and the "best fishing on the island. " Relax and watch the dolphins, eagles and amazing wildlife...

This place is great! Good fishing off the dock. Easy access for personal boat. Nice walk to the gulf beach. Clean and comfortable with an amazing porch! Bring about twice as much water as you THINK you need though (if you are accustomed to municipal water you will definitely notice a difference!) If you do bring a personal watercraft you should expect a warm welcome at the boat ramp from the local tow boat operator in Carrabelle. The owners are easy to work with and easy to get in touch with. All in all it was great!

When I found this island on google I thought it was too good to be true. I was wrong. Our family loved this amazing getaway! The whole week we were there, we only saw 3 other couples briefly. I have never been on a beautiful beach in the sun alone before. It was heaven! The house had everything we could need. Thanks for opening your home up to others!

Al,
This was our first time on Dog Island and most definitely not our last!!! Thank you so much for everything! We really enjoyed your home! So inviting, so comfortable, very well equipped! This was the best family vacation ever! Everything was perfect, so peaceful, so relaxing, the view from the house is the beautiful beach! We went to the beach everyday, the weather was perfect! Words just can't express our experience on Dog Island. Every time we look at the beautiful shells we collected and brought back home with us we really miss being in such a wonderful place. We would walk along the beach and we would see hundreds of shells, we also saw sting ray and star fish and really huge birds diving in the water to catch fish. My daughter's really enjoyed seeing that. The stars at night, wow!!!!, amazing, you can see the milky way!!!!! We really enjoyed our boat ride with Captian Rusty, it was a very smooth ride. This place is amazing!!! We loved it!!!

White Sand like Destin and Pensacola. Our beachfront home on the Gulf of Mexico with absolutely sugar fine white sand is located on a beach rated by The Island Magazine a few years back as one of the ten prettiest beaches in the world. Dog Island is not connected by road to the mainland....

Spring Break 2015

Waited to the last minute to make spring break plans. We had always wanted to try a house on Dog Island. I was happy to run across this house. We had a grand time. The house was perfect with its screened porches, Sun deck, and board walk to the beach. We had all the cookware and supplies needed to cook every meal we planned. The beach was impressive. We have lived in Crawfordville, Florida for eight years. I have been to every beach in this area, Dog Island was the best. Thanks to Michael and Steve for helping us with getting from the dock to the house. These guys were great. We broke in the new grill for everyone. Finally, we experienced: dolphins, great seashells, star fish, sand dollars, a small shark, sting rays, hermit crabs and fiddlers crabs.. Thank you Mr. Doyle for your hospitality. I look forward to returning in the future.

Our Historic Showcase 3 bedroom 2 bath home located in the middle of Dog Island, which is 7 miles long, overlooks the Gulf of Mexico. A long boardwalk takes you to/from the screened- in porch to the Gazebo on the beach, perfect for your sunrise coffee or your sunset cocktails. ...

PEACEFUL AND SERENE PARADISE

Thank you so much for such a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing stay. The house was awesome, and the amenities were great! Dog Island is a real hidden jewel, a true oasis from the hustle and bustle of civilization. In what such a pleasure to work on my book and write as I was able to hear God's music present in nature and be inspired. The beach was fabulous, and the weather couldn't have been better. It was a true joy and pleasure. I will definitely be back. Its hard to find out-of-the way spots that still maintain that pristine natural beauty that is so rare to find today. Thanks again, and God Bless!

Jim was such a gracious host. The house has everything you could ever need to disconnect from the world for a week which is exactly what we did. The interior is beautiful and welcoming. I loved the jigsaw puzzles adoring the air return vent box in the loft. A very neat decorating idea. Don't even get me started on the outside shower. I want one of those at my house! The house has such a positive energy ...especially that swing on the porch. I spent hours on that swing watching the lazy waves and feeling the breeze. The stars at night were beyond my wildest imagination. I will miss Jim's cottage on the beach. Thanks for a lovely stay and memories, Jim.
